Robert Lewandowski Reveals Why He Might Have Considered Quitting Bayern Munich

Robert Lewandowski says he has no intention of leaving Bayern Munich this summer, but has explained why the thought might have crossed his mind.

Speaking to Bild, he said: “In April, May, almost everyone shot me. I felt no protection from the club. I felt alone. I scored no goals in two or three important games and suddenly everyone was thinking: ‘Free shots at Lewandowski!’

“I did not see anyone who was behind me at the time. Nobody was behind me, neither [Karl-Heinz Rummenigge or Uli Hoeness] defended me.

“I felt I had just spent a season at Bayern and had zero credit from the club. That’s why I thought about a move.

“Now, I’m back at Bayern with my whole heart. I noticed here in Munich how the fans are behind me and I realise that they still want me. I would never go on a strike or mess with the club. I’m not wasting any thoughts about moving away anymore.”
